Slopestyle Summer
My mini summer vacation starts in a mere eight days, so I’m most definitely already plotting out what I want to do when I hit the Island for seven days and six nights. Earlier, I wrote a bit about the upcoming Filberg Festival at Filberg Park in sunny Comox. Quite obviously, I will be filling you all in on the good stuff I find there.
On August 4th, 2007, Mt. Washington is opening
up its renowned mountain biking slopes for the Bearclaw Invitational mountain bike competition. Darren Berrecloth, the event’s coordinator and a slopestyle rider himself, promises the event “to be a wild ride, a competition that not only will impress the crowds, but help propel the sport forward.”
If impressive and dangerous riding isn’t enough to entice you, there’ll also be a Kokanee beer garden set up next to the course along with music and food. Preliminary events and practice runs will be held on Thursday, August 2nd with the main event happening on Saturday.

Sure looks different without the snow!
Yah…it’s kinda sad but I am so looking forward to it anyways! But mostly looking forward to the next snowboard season
wanna go riding while your here? let me know! It could be really fun… I only ride a hardtail- so I’m not that hardcore…
Haha I’m not a rider at all, but I would definitely be up for some fun sort of excerise! I’m just going to the Bear Invitational to cover the event for Mainlanders on my blog.
